'All that effort was worth it...' Peter Crouch is proud his teenage daughter is an Oasis fan
Peter Crouch went to see Oasis three times on their reunion tour and he loved seeing brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, because he and his wife Abbey Clancy took their 14-year-old daughter Sophia with them.
Peter Crouch is proud that he made his eldest daughter an Oasis fan.
The retired England footballer loves Liam and Noel Gallagher's band and he went to three concerts on the brothers' Oasis Live '25 reunion tour.
Peter and his wife Abbey Clancy took their daughter Sophia, 14, to Oasis' gig at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, on Saturday August 16 and the former Tottenham Hotspur player was delighted that his years of playing Oasis songs to her and her siblings had paid off.
He said: "It was class. I went over to the Dublin one, which was really incredible.
"I’ve got loads of friends over in Ireland, we had a good night. I took my daughter, as well, to that one. I’ve made her learn the songs since she was a kid. I knew all that effort was worth it."
Peter - who also has three other kids, Liberty, 10, Johnny, seven, and Jack, six, with model Abbey - also went to the end of the UK leg of Oasis' reunion tour at Wembley Stadium in London and he made sure he donned a bucket hat in keeping with the '90s vibe of the shows.
He added: "It’s the only time I ever wear a bucket hat. It’s got to be done."
During TNT Sports' live coverage of Aston Villa's 0-0 draw with Newcastle United in the Premier League on August 16, Crouch made a dash off-screen to make his flight to get to Oasis' show at Croke Park.
Presenter Lynsey Hipgrave teased her broadcast colleague by saying: "That’s about all we have got time for, oh sorry, I have just been told we have got more time all of a sudden. We can carry on talking for a bit.”
To which Crouch replied: "No, Lynsey, I am going to Oasis tonight, that’s not happening. I’ve got a flight to catch.”
His punditry partner Joe Cole the said: "Let the man leave. He’s done his job. He’s done enough.”
Away from his TV punditry work and podcasts, Crouch can next be seen in a new Paddy Power advert along with Danny Dyer, Gemma Collins, Coleen Rooney which gives the Ocean’s franchise a run for its money.
Danny stars with Peter Crouch in the new Paddy Power Games advert
Swapping the Queen Vic for the bright lights of Las Vegas, the tongue-in-cheek campaign sees former EastEnders actor Dyer front and centre as a casino kingpin, dripping in swagger as he walks through a larger-than-life Paddy Power world. With his no-nonsense charm, he welcomes viewers into Paddy Power Games’ outrageously over-the-top casino universe that features "all sorts of games for all sorts of treacles".
Recalling filming the " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">advert, Crouch said: "I’ve done a few Paddy Power ads before, but this one was next-level fun. Sitting there in a casino, watching Danny Dyer play the boss, it was absolute madness, and I felt like I’d stepped into an Ocean's movie – except with far more laughs and far less chance of getting thrown out - well maybe not if you’d seen the chaos! I had an absolute ball filming it with a stellar line up of people – I bet no-one every thought they would see me, the GC, Danny Dyer and Coleen Rooney in an advert together!”
Danny Dyer takes you into the wonderful world of Paddy Power Gaming alongside Coleen Rooney, Gemma Collins and Peter in a new advert, airing across TV and online.
